Research content
Numerical analysis of powder bed fusion method for metal coating or 3D printer and laser cutting of carbon fiber reinforced plastic to clarify phenomena which can’t be measured by experiments. Development of solar-pumped laser which uses Fresnel lens as a primary concentrator toward updating world record of conversion efficiency. New propulsion system with high momentum coupling coefficient using water and laser to realize propulsion supplying energy from outside of the target.
